The editorial board has at its disposal enough reliable evidence to produce the below list containing the names of people who have participated in the mass murder of peaceful citizens of Khojali in the former NagornoKarabakh Autonomous Region of Azerbaijan.

The data has been received from unofficial sources, including eyewitnesses of the tragic events and independent experts. Although the events of Khojali in the early hours of 26th of February 1992 are significant enough to be categorized as genocide under international legal documents defining the crime of genocide, the people on the list so far remain unpunished due to the scarcity of information and circumstances of political nature. However, on the basis of the data already available, Azerbaijan’s law-enforcement agencies have identified those suspected of war crimes and crimes against humanity and sent their names to Interpol to be put on the International Wanted List. At the same time, this list is not complete. There are enough grounds to include on it several more people who have subsequently held senior public posts. They are the former and incumbent Armenian presidents, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sarkisyan, the current Minister of Defense Seyran Oganyan and a few others. The people of Azerbaijan believe that there will come a time when those guilty of atrocities against innocent civilians will face international tribunal and receive the punishment they deserve.
